If you love books and live within a hundred miles you have to check this out. Modest cafe but right across the street from the Broad St market. Not the same scale as Powell's in Portland OR but same vibe. This is smack in the middle of one of Harrisburg's revival neighborhoods

I enjoyed rummaging through the shelves. Cafe isn't bad either.

This place has it's charm. We spent more time at the bookstore than at any other place. If you like books, this the right place for you! Coffee/tea served.

Stopped when passing through the area. Really nice place. Large selection. I just wish they had more children books.

Five star bookstore, three star cafe. But the bookstore part is legit cool. It's a converted church and makes excellent and creative use of the space. There are tables where you can sit and read and sip your coffee (which is just ok). And it never feels crowded. This place really blows those chain bookstores out of the water. Great selection, and the displays are well tailored to current events, but in an educational rather than gimmicky way. They also have a good selection of literature and even some academic books (though you might have to hunt for the latter). They also sell vinyls and old posters, but books are the main attraction here. I haven't felt this comfortable in a bookstore in years.

Think Powell's in Portland, squeezed I to a smaller space. Great selection of books. Private off street parking available in a lot behind the store.

A museum of culture, atmosphere, and vibe. The midtown Schollar carries a remarkable collection of literature, in a space broken up into dozens of open, separate rooms that breeze into one another facilitating grazing very naturally. The collection of current literature in the main gallery will revive your faith in contemporary art, and the underground plethora of classics will keep you grounded in antiquity. This is a place of nooks, from the upper story outdoor balcony, to the side-basement art alcove, to the low-key conferences rooms just-so shielded from reality by the children's sections.

This place is really neat to explore and the staff is very helpful. They had great prices on new books and they bring in guest speakers. Plus try have old and different books.

This may be the most gorgeous bookstore I've ever been to. Clean, cozy, well lit with plenty of good reading chairs. A must-see if you're in Harrisburg.

There is a really nice large selection of used books. I come from the south where used books are very cheap compared to PA, so the prices are a bit of a shocker sometimes haha. Also I've been visiting here often for the past year or so and the coffee alwaysssssssss tastes burnt. Their other drinks are really nice though. So 3 stars for huge selection of books and cute atmosphere but burnt coffee and not so cheap books.

I recommend this place to anyone looking for a hangout in Midtown that serves coffee and light snacks. Of course I can't forget to mention the thousands of new and used books. So if you like books this place is the ticket.

It's a maze downstairs, but it's the best maze! Not anything like your standard bookstore, this place forgoes the bestsellers to focus on odds and ends, with classics and even a section for rare old books. It has a nice clean cafe, a small kitchen for sandwiches, and live music on occasion.
